According to a report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to depart for the United States on Sunday, meet with President Donald Trump on Monday, and attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday. The report adds a departure day to earlier reports of a three-day visit.
A new report adds a departure day to the itinerary for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to the United States. According to the report, Netanyahu will depart on Sunday, meet President Donald Trump on Monday, and attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday. The report provides a more detailed schedule than earlier accounts.
The Zioneer reported at 12:02 Jerusalem on Sunday, July 12, that Netanyahu was expected to arrive for a three-day visit including a Trump meeting and the Graham funeral, contradicting an earlier White House official's statement that no meeting was scheduled. However, the timeline has shifted repeatedly. At 12:02 Jerusalem on Sunday, July 12, a Channel 14 analyst assessed a departure early the following week. At 22:36 Jerusalem on Tuesday, July 14, reports indicated Netanyahu might fly Saturday night, with a meeting not yet confirmed. The new report now specifies a Sunday departure.
The visit has been the subject of speculation for weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 5, Netanyahu's close associates assessed he would travel to the US for a Trump meeting, though no official confirmation followed. The trip is expected to address regional issues as negotiations continue.
The report has not been officially confirmed by the Prime Minister's Office or the White House. The itinerary remains subject to change.
